SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 782,242, dated February 14, 1905.

Application led March 22,1904. Serial No. 199,511.

'5e it known that l. Buse'r M. HANsoN. a citiZen ot' Sweden, residing at Hartford, in the county ol Hartford and State ot' Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improve i ments in Proliling-Machines, of which the t'ollowing is a speeitication.

)ly invention relates to proliling-machines, and has t'or its ohjectthe provision otl improvements wherehy the carrier t'or the former-pin may he readily adjusted to locate said pin properly with relation to the torm upon the tahle.

lleretot'ore in the class otl machines to which my invention appertains it has been the usual practice to clamp the torrn upon the table in lixed relation to the tormer-pin.and frequentlyY it may happen that the term is not properly located with reference to the pin, and consequently has to he taken up and again placed in position. This takes timeand, tm'therniore, does not always tend to the produc-tion otl the best results in causing the protiling-tool accurately to operate upon the work in accordance with the outline of the form'.

A turther object otl my invention is the provision in the spinv'lle-head ot a pi'otiling'-ina chine ot means whereby the former-pin or spindle may he adjusted with relation to the torm upon the table.

ln the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 a lwrspective view ot' a profiling-machine containing my improvements. and Fig. 1 shows detail views ot one otl the former-pin blocks. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section ot' the head taken on line 2 2 ot Fig. 1. Eig. 3 is a detail view ot the head and its attachments, parts heilig' hroken away.

Like characters designate similar throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings, the trame or column ot' a protiling-machine is designated by the numeral 1, and on this column is supported on suitahle ways the tahle Q, to which the usual'work and the term or pattern are to he secured.

Rising troni the column or frame 1 are standparts ards 3 3, united hy a transverse piece 1, either' i integral therewith or detachahly secured thereto. as desired, said piece having ways 5 5, upon which the slide l is itted. For actuating' this slide the usual rack T. driven hy a pinion S. actuated hy any suitable driving mechanism 9, may he employed.

Mounted in waysot the slide t is ahead 10. in hearings ot' which is viournaled the spindle 11, carrying the usual proliling-tool l2. (See Eig. 3.) J'Mljacent. to its lower end the head 1() is chamhered at each side, as at 13 11%'. tor the reception olf hlocks l-t 11' tor purposes hereinafter stated. As shown in Fig. 1". each ot these blocks is t'ornied with a plain side 15 and a grooved side 11', the latter litting over the hase ot the chamher to prevent lateral movement ot the hlock. Each hlock is tapped to receive a screw 1T. having a head 17, shaped to receive a wrench, and each is perforated at 1S to receive the stem 19 ot the tormer-pin`19, said stem heing clamped in position in a depending split portion Qt) ot' the block hy a holt Q1. Threaded into each side of the head 10 isa screw having a wide head bearing against a shoulder '23 ot the block. Bolts 2-1 pass through transverse apertures in the blocks, said apertures heing ot greater diameter than the bolts, and these bolts clamp the hlocks11 11/ upon the head 10.

It will loe seen that a former-piu holder or clamp 20 is provided on each side ot' the head 10 and that the centers ot the former-pin holes 18 are located equidistant t'rom the center ot the spindle 11 and in the same plane with said spindle. In virtue ot this construction. when it is desired to produce aproliling `formerplate from a model piece ot' work the latter may be fastened to the tahle in the place where the work regularly rests,and the l lank formerplate will he secured to said tahlc in the place in which the tinished former is suhsetuiently to he used. ln other words, the former-pin may in this machine he shifted to either side ot' the spindle, in accordance with the character otl work to he accomplished. Should the former-pin not he in proper engagement with the former, it may he made to contorni thereto by actuating' thc screws 1T and Q2, and thus adjusting the former-pin block 14 or 14 in its seat in the spindle-head, as above stated. An y desired means may be employed for recipro-4 cating the spindle ll and for rotating the saine. The usual hand-lever 26 is, however, shown for depressing the spindle, which may then be locked in place in theordinar)v way.

Means diiierent from those shown may be employed for adjusting the former-pin block, the invention not being limited to the devices shown. Furthermore, the former-pin may be clamped to the former-pin block in any desired way without departure from the invention.

Nhile a simple spindle-machine is shown, the invention is not limited thereto, for it is equally applicable to multiple-spindle machines.

Having thus described my invention, what 1 claim is l. 1n a profiling-machine, the combination, with a chambered head, of a former-pin block mounted in the chamber of the head; means for adjusting' said block; and a spindle carrying the tool and journaled in the head.

2. The combination, with a head having' a pair of chambers, of a spindle carrying the proliling-tool; and adjustable former-pin holders mounted in the chambers of the head, and one located on each side of the spindle.

3. Thecombination,withachambered head, of a spindle journaled in said head; a formerpin block mounted in the chamber of the head; and means for adjusting said block.

a. The combination, with a cham bered head, of a spindle journaled in said head; a formerpin block located in the chamber of the head, and screws for adjusting said block, the head ot' one of the screws bearing against a wall of the chamber.

5. The combination, with a head having a chamber, of a spindle journaled in the head; a former-pin block located in said chamber; a screw tapped into the block and having a head bearing against the wall oi' the chamber; and a screw tapped into the head and having a flange bearing against said block.

6. The combination, with a head having a pair ot' chambers, ot' a rotary spindle journaled in said head between the chambers; former-pin blocks mounted in the chambers; and means for adjusting each of said blocks.

T. The combination,with a chambered head, of a former-pin block having an aperture; a bolt passing through and of less diameter than said aperture; a spindle; means for adjusting the block toward and from the spindle; a pro- Jfiling-tool carried by the spindle; and aformerpin secured to the block.

S. The combination, with a cham bered head, ot' a spindlejournaled in said head; andaformer-pin block located in the chamber and having a grooved side fitting upon a wall of the chamber, a plain side, an aperture for the reception of the former-pin, and a split clamp for securing said Jformer-pin.

9. The combination, with a reciprocatory table adapted to receive the work and form, of a head; a spindle journaled in said head and carrying a tool; a block mounted in a chamber of the head; means for adjusting said block toward and from the spindle; a tormer-pin; and means for clamping said pin to the block.

In testimony whereofl I aiHX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
